review 1: This is at times really interesting and at other times really boring or depressing. Contributors worry from varying view points about everything from the sciences, technology, privacy issues, magical thinking, etc. Some contributors say - don't worry at all! I like that one.But it is cool to learn about all the different studies and where they are currently, and what 'experts' consider to be the upcoming challenges in their fields.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. It is a collection of 50 or some worldwide thinkers and scientists, some of which are extremely thought provoking. Definitely worth a read. My scoring system:5: Totally changed how I think of a topic, how in hindsight the book's core insights are so obvious, but beforehand we are so blind, that b... moreefore the book all we see is a Forrest, and only after reading can we look back and see the previously hidden path that is now so easy to follow. That kind of book I give a five. 4: A really great book, definitely worth reading but not ground breaking which I reserve for giving a "5" score. 3: A great book, I recommend reading it. 2: I learned a few things from the book but you could probably get away with no reading this one. 1: Do not read. less
